Mel Pomeroy

Are your most intriguing resources lonely? This Archives Month, MSU Archives and Special Collections (ASC) launched a new initiative to introduce students to resources they never knew they needed: Blind
Date with the Archives. Come discuss new ways to court first-time visitors, demystify the access process, and highlight treasured collections.

Mel Pomeroy has been the Curator at the Montana State University Archives and Special Collections (ASC) since October 2022. She has an MLIS from Dominican University and is also a Certified Interpretive Guide through the National Association of Interpretation. Her work at MSU often includes outreach for the Library and ASC in the form of displays, workshops, Wikipedia training, and other programing.
